*WTU: Weighted Teaching Unit (Formula determining hours per week spent for various faculty work. For example, 1 hour of lecture class instruction = 1 WTU. The formula is weighted slightly heavier for such activities as lab instruction, coaching, community service learning projects and off-campus supervision of student teachers)

**Non-instructional Assigned Time WTU: Approved time for faculty engaged in activities outside of the classroom such as instructionally related research, committees, advising and curriculum development
